Looks like Sonam Kapoor, who was last seen in Shashank Ghosh’s female buddy film Veere Di Wedding (2018), is in love with popular author Anuja Chauhan’s writing, so much so that she has bought rights to two of her books for silver screen adaptation.
For the uninitiated, Sonam is already shooting for The Zoya Factor, which is based on Anuja’s best-selling book of the same name and stars southern sensation Dulquer Salmaan as the male lead. The actress also has rights to make a movie on the author’s second book Battle For Bittora, which will start rolling soon.
And now, the latest news is coming in that Sonam Kapoor might gain rights to Anuja Chauhan’s third book as well. The book, which hit the stand in 2013, is titled Those Pricey Thakur Girls.
“A leading production house is on the way to try and get the rights of the book Those Pricey Thakur Girls with the intent of turning it into a film,” a source reveals.
“They have acquired the rights and are in the process of formalising the agreement after ensuring that they have the IPR for the same through public notices,” the source adds.
We wonder if the production house in question is Anil Kapoor Films & Communication Network or some other banner. Let’s wait until more details come out.
Meanwhile, Sonam Kapoor will shortly be seen in Fox Star Studios and Vinod Chopra Films’ next Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles.
Crafted from white gold and smothered in thousands of diamonds.
Carries a price tag that will make your eyes water – we are talking £1.6 million (approx. ₹16.6 crore).
She just wore a silver Manish Malhotra saree with those emerald earrings.
Nita Ambani arrived at Manish Malhotra's Diwali party and essentially broke fashion. Everyone else was present and looking great, but then there was her bag. That Hermès number is not something you see every day, or ever, really. It is the Sac Bijou, a thing so exclusive it makes a standard Birkin look common.

What is special about the bag?
The Hermès Sac Bijou is only made three ever. Every detail was carefully conceived by Pierre Hardy back in 2012. With 3,025 diamonds weighing a total of 111 carats, its purpose is not to hold essentials. Instead, it transforms the wearer’s arm into a dazzling showcase.
Nita chose a razor sharp silver sequin saree from Manish Malhotra. There was no heavy embroidery, just clean lines and a great deal of sparkle to match the bag's feel. She then added those heart shaped Colombian emerald earrings, which were absolute units of gemstones, and a matching bracelet. The overall effect was pure casual flex. It was a statement, suggesting: "Oh, this old thing? Just a typical Tuesday night out."
But why does anyone care about a bag that is practically useless?
That is the whole point. It is not about utility; it is about spectacle. In the world of high fashion, this is the peak. It is a piece of art that you wear. The bag was not part of the outfit. It was the outfit. The entire ensemble felt like a massive understatement, which is remarkable to say.
No. Of course, you cannot. That is not the point. That is what makes it so brilliant. It is a power move. It is a conversation piece that instantly wins the conversation. When the value of your bag could buy an entire row of houses, it stops being an accessory. It becomes a landmark, like a statement of arrival without saying a word. And for an event like the Diwali bash, where everyone is trying to make a statement, that was hers. Game over.
